Feeding the pleuro

This is a discussion on Feeding the pleuro within the Ribbed Newts (Pleurodeles) forums, part of the Species, Genus & Family Discussions category; Hey so I have an adult Pleuro.
I was just curious how many Nightcrawlers should I feed him per week?
...

Ribbed Newts (Pleurodeles)Now comprising at least 3 species, this genus of newts includes the largest "newt" in the world, Pleurodeles waltl.

I feed my newts every two days or there abouts, if they are breeding I will give them extra. One large nightcrawler sounds about right for one meal, for a wild newt, a big juicy earthworm would be a rare feast.
I keep my nightcrawlers in the bottom of the fridge in moist (not wet) dirt from my garden. They seem to last indefinitely there as long as they don't dry out, so just mist them once a week or so.

My guy was on a 5 day hunger strike or so and he really slimmed down. But including tail he's still 9-10 inches long.
These Nightcrawlers I got are Huge !!! I'm talking like, 4-7 inches depending on if they're stretched out.
Anyways I think I may have gone a little overboard giving him 2 of those things in 3 days.. Hope he'll be good ! Gonna give him a like 4-5 days before the next.
Also is feeding Nightcrawler after nightcrawler bad to do?
